Buttered Ginger Sauce Recipes

STEAK WITH GINGER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork. Microwave, turning halfway through, until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into bite-size pieces.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shishito peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and starting to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate with tongs. Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Return the peppers to the skillet to heat through, about 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season the steaks all over with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks; cook until browned, 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board.
• Place the empty skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter and the ginger. Cook until the ginger sizzles, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add the soy sauce mixture. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth.
• Slice the steaks and divide among plates, along with the vegetables. Spoon the sauce over the meat. Top with sesame seeds.

STEAK WITH GINGER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the steaks, and cook until nicely browned, 1 or 2 minutes. Turn, and brown the second side, another minute or two. Remove the skillet from the heat and the steaks to a plate.
• When the skillet has cooled enough so that no smoke is rising, return it to medium heat. Add butter, and when it melts, add ginger. About 30 seconds later, add soy sauce and stir to blend. Return steaks to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Turn heat to medium, and cook the steaks a total of 4 minutes, turning 3 or 4 times. (If pan juices dry out, add a couple of tablespoons of water.) At this point, they will be medium-rare; cook a little longer if you like, and serve, with pan juices spooned over.

BUTTERED TOMATOES WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Trim dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside for serving. Finely chop remaining white and pale green parts. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium. Add white and pale green parts of scallions and ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes and cook, turning gently with a spoon, until juicy and just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed. Top with reserved scallion greens.
• Spoon tomatoes over toast and sprinkle with more salt if desired.

GINGER BUTTER

Steps:

• Use a fork to cream all the ingredients to gether, cover and store in fridge or freeze until you want to use it.

GINGER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots and ginger. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the vinegar and wine. Cook until reduced to one-third cup. Add the cream, bring to the boil and add remaining butter. Put the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids. Keep warm.

BUTTER GINGER SAUCE FOR PASTA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet.
• Add everything except cheese and cook until garlic is tender, about 4 minutes.
• Combine hot pasta, toss with cheese and serve.
• Pasta suggestions: 3/4 lb Capellini, spaghettini or linguine.

STEAK WITH BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the steaks and cook until nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, another minute or two. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the steaks to a plate.
• When the skillet has cooled slightly, return it to the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and, when it melts, the ginger. About 30 seconds later, add the soy sauce and stir to blend. Return the steaks to the skillet, along with any of their accumulated juices. Cook the steaks for a total of about 4 minutes, turning three or four times. (If at any time the pan threatens to dry out entirely, add a couple of tablespoons of water.) At this point, the steaks will be medium-rare; cook for a little longer if you like and serve with the pan juices spooned over.
• Use garlic or shallots and a few leaves of tarragon instead of the ginger, and vinegar in place of the soy sauce for a French flair. Season the steak well with salt before you add it to the pan.
• Go Mediterranean: Substitute extra virgin olive oil for the butter, garlic for the ginger, and fresh lemon juice for the soy sauce. Be sure not to forget to salt the steaks.
• Give it a Thai accent: Substitute minced lemongrass for the ginger and nam pla for the soy sauce. You can substitute peanut oil for the butter or not.
• Add any minced herbs you like to the sauce, at about the same time you return the meat to the skillet.

SHRIMP IN GINGER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat shrimp dry and season with salt
• Heat butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté ginger 30 seconds. Add shrimp and sauté 2 minutes. Add Sherry and sauté until shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
